SUMMARY:Webinar | Firefighting Foam Transition: PFAS Cleanout Challenges and Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Join us on January 21\, 2026 for a technical webinar regarding Firefighting Foam Transition: PFAS Cleanout Challenges And Solutions. \nBackground/Objectives\nFluorine-free foams (F3) are replacing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) containing aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF) for fire suppression to reduce environmental\, health\, and liability risks related to PFAS. Transitioning to F3 requires effective cleanout solutions to prevent residual PFAS impacts and ensure system compatibility. This presentation aims to address these challenges and showcase sustainable\, cost-effective technologies for PFAS remediation. \nApproach/Activities\nThe flocculant technology PerfluorAd™\, developed by Cornelson\, effectively removes PFAS that accumulate on internal surface areas of fixed and mobile fire suppression systems. Flocs are isolated\, generating a low volume of PFAS-impacted solids for minimized waste disposal. Rinsate is treated on-site and typically compliant with sewer discharge requirements\, further reducing waste disposal costs. Effectiveness is documented through real-world applications and data from airports and other facilities. \nResults/Lessons Learned\nApplying flocculant technology can effectively remove PFAS from fire suppression systems\, reduce waste generation\, and minimize rebound risks. Cleanout projects using this technology have demonstrated cost savings\, operational efficiency\, and environmental benefits compared to traditional methods. Lessons learned highlight the importance of tailored solutions\, ongoing process optimization\, and data-driven improvements using advanced analytical techniques to address diverse fire suppression systems. \nPresenters\nGREG KNIGHT Greg is the PerfluorAd™ Operations Manager for TRS Group\, a Parsons company\, working exclusively on AFFF cleanouts since 2021. Greg oversees implementation of all TRS Group AFFF cleanouts. \nLAUREN TURNER\, PhD Lauren is an environmental engineer supporting client projects and research objectives for contaminated sites. Lauren leverages research experiences and PFAS knowledge to advance treatment options. \nTo Join The Webinar\nJoin on your computer\, mobile app or room device:\nJoin the meeting now\nMeeting ID: 254 973 769 066 59\nPasscode: qb7zw9RA \nPlease visit the Parsons YouTube channel where video recordings of our\nprevious technical webinars are available for viewing.
